when i walk my dog in the morning id say at least a third of people are staring at their phone and another third have it glued to the middle of their windshield.

also about half don’t bother slowing down for speed bumps, and no one looks behind them when they’re backing out of their driveway.

If any political group is willing to sacrifice LGBTQIA folks to get ahead they will sacrifice anyone, and I will not support them.

so many people are still abusing the repost button, just let me mute reposts from individual accounts. it can’t be that hard.

sure it’s a little embarrassing having to drive home with the tp in the passenger seat, but when you’re saving 10¢ a gallon on gas it’s worth it

five ristras of cayennes so far this year. there’s something very satisfying about seeing them all hanging, waiting to be used over the next year or two… ensuring I’ll never have to cook a bland meal

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
